From: Tim Elliott <telliott_at_sigecom.net>
Date: Sat, 6 Sep 2003 19:41:06 -0500 I am ready to upgrade the hard drive in my JBR20. I can fill up any hard drive I get. I would like to get an 80 gig drive but may settle on a 60 if the price per gig is cheaper. What things do I need to consider when picking a hard drive? I've read that an 8 Meg cache will be wasted in my Archos. What models would be best for power savings? 5400rpm isn't necessary? I'm also not sure if I need a quiet drive. Will a quiet drive reduce the drive noise when recording from the internal microphone significantly? I opened my Archos when the warranty ran out and found that the hard drive is quite easy to remove. Is that metal plate on the drive needed? There is a loose plastic sheet between the circuit board on the drive and the Archos circuit board. Also, since I have Rockbox flashed, is it possible for Rockbox to see a new unformatted hard drive and allow USB access to it for formatting?
